Note. Replacing the outer boot (without special devices) also shown in the section Replacement of CV joints.
Note. approximate dimensions of the anther of the outer CV joint 23x79x106 (mm). When choosing a non-original anther, you need to select it in size as close as possible.
Removing
Remove front wheel drive (see left, right).
Install the front wheel drive with the middle part of the shaft 1, Figure 13-1, drive in a vise (metalwork vise with aluminum pads, workbench type ШП-17 "GARO").
Figure 13-1 - Removing the protective cover of the outer joint of the front wheel drive: 1 - wheel drive shaft; 2 - small clamp; 3 - separators; 4 - balls; 5 - body of the outer hinge; 6 - clip; 7 - retaining ring; 8 - large clamp; 9 - protective cover
Cut the small 2 and large 8 tie-down straps with wire cutters, being careful not to damage the outer joint housing 5 and the drive shaft 1 (wire cutters).
Cut cover 9 along the entire length and remove (technological knife).
Remove grease (technological spatula, rags).
Mark the relative position of the body 5 of the outer hinge of the front wheel drive and the drive shaft 1 by any means except mechanical.
Remove the outer joint housing from the drive shaft using tool Tav. 1796 and Emb. 880 (outer joint remover Tav. 1796, Emb. 880).
Remove from the groove and remove the retaining ring 7 from the drive shaft (flat screwdriver).
Rinse drive parts and blow with compressed air (hot water high pressure washer type HDS 895 S "Karcher" (Germany), gun type AN 050101 "ANI" (Italy) for blowing with compressed air).
Installation
Install drive shaft 1 with the middle part in a vise (metalwork vise with aluminum pads, workbench type ШП-17 "GARO").
Parts that must be replaced:
- a protective cover of the external hinge of a shaft of a drive of a forward wheel;
- retaining ring;
- small clamp;
- large clamp.
Fit small clamp 2 onto shaft 1 of the wheel drive.
To facilitate installation of the protective cover, lubricate the wheel drive shaft (grease for front wheel drive shaft joints 77 11 420 011 in accordance with current "Codifier of the main and auxiliary materials used in the maintenance and repair of LADA vehicles" K 3100.25100.00018, technological blade).
Install the protective cover 9 of the outer hinge on the drive shaft.
Install a new retaining ring 7 on the drive shaft.
Press the outer hinge onto the drive shaft so that the retaining ring snaps behind the cage 6. When assembling, ensure that the marks made before disassembly match (hammer with plastic head).
Fill the cavity of the body 5 of the outer hinge and the protective cover with grease for the hinges of the front wheel drive shafts in equal quantities (grease for front wheel drive shaft joints 77 11 420 011 in accordance with current "Codifier of the main and auxiliary materials used in the maintenance and repair of LADA vehicles" K 3100.25100.00018, technological blade).
Place the edges of the cover in the grooves of the hinge housing and the wheel drive shaft (flat screwdriver).
Insert a rounded rod between the boot and the hinge body to adjust the amount of air inside the hinge (technological rod).
Rock the TTTPVC by hand to check that the boot straps are properly installed.
Install the small 2 and large 8 tie-down straps on the protective cover of the front wheel drive shaft inner joint.
Tighten the small and large clamps until it clicks using the tool (clamp fitting tool Tav. 1168 or Tav. 1256, or Tav. 1784 depending on clamp design).
Install the front wheel drive.
